Conventions for reporting radiocarbon determinations (2014)
Journal Article
Millard, A. (2014). Conventions for reporting radiocarbon determinations. Radiocarbon, 56(02), 555-559. https://doi.org/10.2458/56.17455

Current conventions for reporting radiocarbon determinations do not cover the reporting of calibrated dates. This article proposes revised conventions that have been endorsed by many 14C scientists. For every determination included in a scientific pa... Read More about Conventions for reporting radiocarbon determinations.
